Went on a random weekday & there was plenty of space available. They follow a tapas-style concept, so everything is meant to be shared, with small plates ranging from $25-$30 😅. Honestly, that seems to be the new norm at restaurants these days, so if you're ready to splurge a bit for smaller portions, this could be your spot.
The food was really good🫶🏼no complaints at all. I loved everything we tried. Service was great too, but we were the only ones there, so I'm not sure how it is when it gets busy. Overall, it was a good experience, but with the portion sizes versus the price, I'm not sure I'd go back.
La nourriture est bonne, le menu pourrait être plus varié, peu de choix pour les personnes qui n'aiment pas les fruits de mer. Les frites sont à déguster absolument, un vrai régal ! Le tartare de saumon est bien, trop de sauce, mais les saveurs sont appréciables. Les dumplings au veau sont bons. La présentation est belle. La terrasse est accueillante. Malheureusement, le service est à améliorer. Erreurs par-dessus erreurs, le service doit être fait d'une façon professionnelle & ce n'était pas le cas. La chasse de la toilette était brisée & inaccessible. Les tables étaient collantes, on se sentait en nouvelle Orléans, tout manquait de soins. Nous avons décidé de donner une 2e chance & aucun regret, vous êtes passé de 3 étoiles à 5 étoiles. Notre serveur était aux petits soins avec nous. WoW ! La nourriture était meilleure, encore trop de sauce dans le tartare & le tataki de thon, mais le chou-fleur est le meilleur que j'ai mangé à Montréal. Les dumplings à l'agneau sont très bien, les bouchées de crabe superbe & le carré d'agneau parfaitement cuit. Une belle expérience, nous allons revenir assurément.

I organized my fiance's 40th birthday party at la bêtise & it was amazing. The food, the service, the drinks, the price; everything was great. They were very accommodating with all my requests & all night they checked in to make sure everything was satisfactory. Thanks for much Doug & Kevin! 10/10 recommend.
Mon meilleur resto ever & de loins le meilleur service & meilleur bouffe que j'ai mangé! J'adore cette endroit & l'ambiance que les deux propriétaires nous offrent! Merci encore pour hier !
I enjoyed my time here my partner had the risotto which was excellent. I liked the calamari but next time I would get risotto. We wanted to speak with Lilly more. Let Lilly talk 🙂
She made me a delicious espresso 🍸
